On Friday night, I got to attend Mom’s Night Out with the ladies in our new home school co-op. It was fun to get to know a new group of friends, and I feel so blessed to have these awesome moms in my life. We had good food and good conversation, with the help of…
A friend of mine recently wrote a blog post about Facebook. She had a bad experience with the social networking site and decided to cancel her account, much to the surprise of her 354 “friends”. I have been thinking about her post for a few days and decided to write my own. It’s kind of…
There’s one thing I always say about pregnancy: It’s a good thing women forget how miserable it is or no one would have more than one child. Of course, I’m being sarcastic. I know that pregnancy can be a beautiful and wonderful experience for a lot of women. I actually love the three months in…
Since I saw the movie, Julie and Julia a few weeks ago, I have been pondering one of the themes in the story. In case you haven’t heard about the film, the movie tells the dual story of Julia Child, the famous cook, and Julie Powell, a blogger who is a bit obsessed with Julia….
We celebrated my middle child’s seventh birthday on Sunday. Seven?! Doesn’t that sound so much older than 6? It seems like it marks the transition from little kid, kindergarten boy to KID kid, first grader, who wants to understand all that is happening in the world.

With child #1, I would have had that assignment completed within minutes of getting…
All three of my children celebrate their birthdays within two months of each other, so I have been a little overwhelmed the past few weeks trying to plan parties, find the perfect gifts (on sale), and come up with ways to make them feel special. Last week, my oldest son reminded me of some birthday…
The moment my daughter was born five years ago, I thought something must be terribly wrong. “Why isn’t she crying?” I asked the nurses. I couldn’t see what was happening because I had a C-section and my view was blocked as the doctor finished the surgery. “She’s fine,” my midwife assured me. Nothing was wrong….
It’s a good thing we got some rest Labor Day weekend. Tuesday hit like a whirlwind and I’ve been having a hard time this week staying on top of everything. It seems every fall activity started this week. We’ve been sticking to our home-school schedule of doing school work from about 8 a.m. until 1…
A few days before this significant date of 9/09/09 hit us, I suddenly realized that my oldest son will be celebrating a special birthdate of his own this year! He is going to be 9 on the 9th of November, 2009! All three of my children have birthdays in the fall and I have been…
